Why Acrobat Export Falls Short for Many PDF Files
Four facts from Adobe’s own article on extracting images and what PDF Image Extractor does instead.
- 1
Adobe Starts With One Open PDF
Adobe’s bulk export steps begin with “Open the PDF”, then Tools, Export PDF, an image format and Export all images. PDF Image Extractor loads a batch through Add Files and a full folder through Add Folder, so one job covers it.
- 2
One Format Applies to All Images
Adobe says the chosen image format “will apply to all images at once”. PCVITA software saves in one format per job too. You select it from nine options that include TGA, PCX, ICO and RAW.
- 3
Adobe Lists Five Image Formats
Adobe names PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF and TIFF. PCVITA software saves nine formats, among them PDF, TGA, PCX and RAW. JPG is not on the PCVITA list, so check your target format first.
- 4
Copy and Paste Handles One Image
Adobe’s single image route is to click the image, right click, select Copy and paste it into an editor. PCVITA software takes every image from the pages you select in one click on Extract.
Prepare Before Your First PDF Image Extraction
Seven checks before the first job. Work through them, then start the extraction.
- Leave the source PDF files where they are. PDF Image Extractor saves items into a destination folder you select, so your source files stay where they are.
- Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or above before the first launch. Windows needs 4 GB RAM and 100 MB of free disk space.
- Start the program with Run as Administrator if you use Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
- Install Java JDK and JRE 8 on a Mac. Mac system needs list the region as United States and the language as English.
- Note which files ask for a password. You type that password while you add the file.
- Put the PDF files in one folder so Add Folder loads them in one go.
- Try the free demo on your own files before you buy. Download the PDF Image Extractor demo, extract from your first 5 files and check the images, watermark included.
